By the time we got to Matinique, I was short on cash so didn't shop much. Took the ferry across the bay and snorkeled again at a resort area. These gals were walking around in beautiful bikini ensembles. Turns out, they were selling them and after they had paraded around for about 10 minutes they'd change right in front of everyone and put on a new one. Odd! Just not enough time again though. A person has to decide to beach it or shop, really can't do both. Fun days at sea again: well, I read 3 books on this trip. Being it was 8 days long, we really tried to pace ourselves and didn't cram too much in.
